if you dont meet the tithe, it gets even worse

[near wasp]

They don't really care how you run things as long as somebody has controll and taxes are paid on time

[abstract vector]

Unless your Ultramar

Because Roboute is super special

[storm jungle]

Yeah and we know what absolute power does to people

[heady rivet]

In the same vein of "Both the Nazis and Soviets had secret police they're the same" really. The Imperium is just generally totalitarian and, if anything, leans closer to a medieval economy even with the corporations, guilds, unions, etc. The exact nature of the authoritarianism basically changes as per the needs of the planet, war, sector, administratum. Plus the whole theocracy thing is another layer on it. The loner Psyker does call it fascist in a voice line though, fun fact. Fascism is the more accurate word than Nazi or Soviet or whatever authoritarian groups exist. But it basically depends on the writer and where the book has zoomed in on

[fervent geode]

imo the imperium is too decentralised to enforce anything but the tithe

[signal bramble]

This is correct.

But it’s not just the tithe. It’s worshipping big E, rounding up psykers, etc.

[fervent geode]

Yep basically

[abstract vector]

more on the lines of Feudalism too

[storm jungle]

I mean yeah they are the same, fascism is literally just a more extreme form of totalitarianism and to some people both are essentially just very much similiar things. The medieval nature of the way they run things doesnt stop them from the fact that they basically commit nazi-tier atrocities on the daily.

[signal bramble]

You could technically have a planet run democratically so long as follow the other rules.

[storm jungle]

Uhhh

we had one

the opening of the book shows them get exterminated

LMAO

[near wasp]

No they still opress people. When a guard regiment went rouge. The ultramarines were disgusted with how pitiful the resistance was so they punished there own troops because they should be able to put up a better fight

[storm jungle]

also outright being said democracy is cringe

[fervent geode]

I would define fascism on the 14 points in Ur-fascism by eco, but basically they are totalitarian but not enough to be fascist, but worse somehow and obvious satire

[storm jungle]

[heady rivet]

Not exclusive to the USSR. Or Nazis, even. "In-group" state-ran slavery is just a general thing that happens a lot

[signal bramble]

The imperium is too vast to be truly centralized so it’s more of a tributary empire.

[storm jungle]

the Imperium fills 13 out of 14 of those, the only thing they dont fill in is systematic sexism against women which they dont simply do because theres a lot of bodies to throw around but we still see sexism in several books

[fervent geode]

State slavery happens even tofay lmao

[dapper gyro]

People talk about other factions having secret polices as if the CIA isn't one...

[signal bramble]

Everyone is oppressed equally. Very progressive.

[storm jungle]

It has a core form of government, and all of its systems are horrifically totalitarian, its not "too centralized"

[heady rivet]

Thats the normal police that do that

[fervent geode]

No appeal to social frustration, or rejection of modernism imo

And as you said Machismo is not state polict

[heady rivet]

Fascism is inherently revolutionary. The Unification Wars are a stretch on that one lole

[fervent geode]

We have idiot sexists even in democracies

[fervent geode]

Yeap, it is a mass ideology, the unification wars i dont think qualify as a revolution too

[storm jungle]

Social frustration in humanity in warhammer is basically "we were oppressed by every non-human and mutant they should all die" which the Imperium widely appeals to.

Modernism is absolutely rejected

[abstract vector]

Meanwhile Sandy Mitchell for once made a governor least asshole

[near wasp]

Why be sexist when females can be just as good cannon fodder as men

[storm jungle]

Basically this yeah

when you got bodies to spare theres no need for women to stay home and breed kids

[signal bramble]

Social frustration also sends them to Chaos.

[wary fulcrum]

One of the Necromundan hives is considered borderline heretical because it has a democracy

[signal bramble]

Or the Tau.

[storm jungle]

And what causes that social frustration is the Imperium itself. Its a cycle.

[fervent geode]

Seems more obsession with a plot to me, they no longer teach of the old night so there can be no social frustration regarding those events imo

[storm jungle]

YEP. Also all openings of Necromunda has a text of a noble accounting the "failure of democracy and the ascendancy of nobility"

[fervent geode]

The Imperium causes frustration but doesn't help it imo

[storm jungle]

They do teach the old night, we got references of people saying the Emperor saved them from it

[wary fulcrum]

They don’t teach the event as such, but they do warn of the dangers

[storm jungle]

^

Systematic racism and the hate of the "unknown" is taught everywhere

which is also a very nazi thing

along with genetic purity which is also always a theme

[abstract vector]

Old Night is like slavic tales

Its leans more on the warnings and punishment

[heady rivet]

In that context its more "the old way is bad", IE Hitler riding the failures of Weimar Germany, Mussolini coasting along on Italy going through a huge downturn in the begining of the century. Its painting the modern world (liberal democracy) as bad and a return to "tradition" or lost power. Big E always pointed forward "under me" and never backwards towards the DOAT. The Imperium points backwards to talk about how amazing Big E was

[dapper gyro]

It is also funny that the Custard are the ones who understand the situation the most, but they oblige the Imperium more...

[storm jungle]

We tolerate people with mutations/deformities today (to some degree depending on where you are) but in the Imperium you'd get instantly shot in the head unless you hide or in a place where nobody cares about you

[dapper gyro]

With 10k people, they could do big changes to the Imperium.

[storm jungle]

Tbh the Emperor literally does do that too, he references the failures of humanity and how hes THE one to lead because and I quote "I know im right" as per pre-Great Crusade.

[abstract vector]

Only the Inquisition

[storm jungle]

Its because at teh end of the day they are brainwashed golems

[fervent geode]

Well fair enough, i agree with the genetic purity part but as it is not presented in the view to frustrate people, imo mote to xenophobia

There is no call to action fot action sake i almost forgor

[queen laurel]

Watching my friend Joe get lynched and skinned alive for the crime of being too tall than the average human

[dapper gyro]

Just get fat, you will be considered an orgryn.

[misty vector]

Facial symmetry is off, into the furnace

[fervent geode]

The imperium teaches to obey only, it does deny thinking but does not praise action as inherently beautiful or right

[abstract vector]

Because theres one Radical ideology in the inquisition that knows the imperium is rotting corpse and treating people humanely is a better future. they forced reforms on several worlds but after that well. we dont get expanded

[fervent geode]

[urban spire]

Referencing shit like the CECOT 💀

or how your heroic efforts helped make a mega concentration camp

lmao

[fervent geode]

Lmao

[heady rivet]

There's a part in, iirc, a Warhammer crime book (I THINK?) where this happens with some voidborne at a dock. Enforcers shrug it off because "Eh, dont wanna discourage any genuine mutant lynchings"

[storm jungle]

its so good

[wary fulcrum]

Also, Facial symmetry is too much, into the furnace

[fervent geode]

Too short, mutant, die

Comrade Pol Poy ultrabased

[signal bramble]

Most Warhammer 40K fiction is sincere, earnest, melodramatic, and tragic

It genuinely asks you to mourn fallen worlds, admire Astartes heroism, fear the Warp, and respect sacrifice.

Tbh when it’s absurd, it’s earnestly absurd. That’s not satire imo.

[fervent geode]

Kill all french speakers too

And educated

[heady rivet]

"The past is bad" is the bold new gambit the revolution needs. Coasting into the White House by being like "Bro hunter-gatherers sucked here's a burger. They never knew this perfection"

[abstract vector]

You speak french? Death - pol

💀

[wary fulcrum]

UNO reverse card! I made it first you used warp trickery, into gulag!

[storm jungle]

40k is and always has been satirical, its just that when people think "satire" they expect it to be comedic and in your face when 40k goes on and off with it but its still there.

[storm jungle]

Truth is always stranger than fiction

[abstract vector]

oh i know

[fervent geode]

Blow up the bank and all money return to the agrarian fields, we rebuilding Angkor now

[storm jungle]

people who say "the imperium would never do this" havent seen the atrocities we commit IRL lol

[abstract vector]

I was shocked hearing that speaking french near pol pot shoots you

💀

[fervent geode]

Doesnt have to be realistic lmao

[heady rivet]

Pol Pot getting funding from the CIA and CCP at the same time hoping it would make the region unstable to punish communists/spread Communism is like if a satire cartoon in the newspaper was real

[fervent geode]

He spoke french and was educated in paris btw

[dapper gyro]

It was so stupid that the Khmer rouge made another communist country went on to kill them.

[storm jungle]

Cant be a dictator without being a hypocrite

[urban spire]

pol pot was short for politics potthew

[signal bramble]

True satire doesn’t say “this is dark.”

It says “this is dark and the people enforcing it are ridiculous.”

The Maul does exactly that. Better than anything GW puts out. >_>

[abstract vector]

Yup

[fervent geode]

They were killing vietnamese for racial impurity

[heady rivet]

Authoritarians being hypocrites? Say it aint so

[storm jungle]

[wary fulcrum]

I was waiting for the Subjugator armour so I could make Drej from the Wraight Crime novel using Maul

[fervent geode]

Btw they were killing chinese too, whilst pol and his 2nd nuon chea were part chinese

[storm jungle]

Also speaking of

"legally mandated volunteers"

lmfao

[signal bramble]

I said it earlier and I mean it honestly, the Maul is what 40k satire actually looks like. The way GW writes the setting isn’t satire, it’s myth.

[fervent geode]

Lmao

[storm jungle]

also uh

they are making the deathstar apparently

nice

[urban spire]

they already turned a planet into a black hole, feel like a death star is a step down

[fervent geode]

Democracy needs a massive death star! Do you want to go to CECOT?

[heady rivet]

Yep, it then goes on to say that nobody got punished because they were doing the right thing

[signal bramble]

It’s purely for peaceful purposes.

[dapper gyro]

Chineses were killing chineses at that time to be fair. So yeah, China was supporting that.

[fervent geode]

Yes democratic

[heady rivet]

And then notes they only feel a little bad about the child that got burned

[wary fulcrum]

I suppose it’s like going from rocket to bullet

Black hole is great and all but causes extra problems

[fervent geode]

Not for being chinese tho, anyway yeah mao and hua couldnt be assed for the chinese there lmao

Still funny to think that they wanted to take us, the Vietnamese with all of the surplus from 1975.

[heady rivet]

how is the communism in vietnam coming along anyway

i see

[vagrant fox]

They did the market reforms in the late 80s or early 90s

Sorta China style yeah

[dapper gyro]

The need to grow. During the true communist time, which actually started after the 2nd Indochina war (aka Vietnam War) to 1990, it was so horrible that people almost rebel again.

So guess what, open commerce and changes to the system.

Only good thing to be made with rye is alcohol

[urban spire]

it's proud scandinavian tradition to wake up at 6 in the morning and eat a breakfast consisting of two untoasted piece of of bread with margarine and white flavourless cheese, washing it down with vantablack coffee no milk no sugar

this is normal

Smørrebrød done well with akvavit is one of gods few apologies to our species

[rocky gale]

No, it's wheaten bread

i do find white bread to be a bit insubstantial

Idk there's some Ukrainians hiding away where I live and their huge offroader takes up like 2 parking spots they're surely doing fine

selection bias, ofc the people that have the means to leave ukraine are doing well

there's been a lot of ukranian refugees in norway, think my dentist is ukranian

[near wasp]

Survivorship bais

[urban spire]

she's great too

[vagrant fox]

I jest, it's just a wildly huge vehicle

Yankee sized

[heady rivet]

Yeah its a pre-made character, build, etc. They just drop you in to experience some of the game in a small segment

[urban spire]

well, are any of them of the adeptus mechanicus

[vagrant fox]

Kill them

[urban spire]

i'm going feral here i'm chewing off my fingers i need the purity and certainty of steel

[vagrant fox]

One of my local cashiers is Ukrainian I think and she picked up the language very quickly it's wild

[wet sandal]

its just that ukrainian swag

simple as

[vagrant fox]

Some conjugation aside

[urban spire]

norway treated ukranian refugees so fucking poorly man, it's depressing

[heady rivet]

I have only selected one of two, and the only info is "Officer" and "Imperial Noble" as my character info

[urban spire]

UGH

[vagrant fox]

I think they've been treated well in Denmark and the Faroe Islands but I haven't paid much attention

[urban spire]

UGH

[vagrant fox]

There were some special long term residency visas given to them in the faroes at least

[urban spire]

norway's been really shitty to asylum seekers for many years now, and we shifted seamlessly to being shitty to ukranian refugees, packed them into the same moldy barracks

[vagrant fox]

Noble is fun at least

[near wasp]

Sounds like what the US uses for for own troops

[urban spire]

i wonder if the ukranian lady who sells high quality estradiol to trans people for bitcoin is okay

[celest dome]

One of my cousin for a while worked with the Ukranian refuge as part of the Red cross.
Now it is stable enough that she is working on other cases.
Now its a women refuge iirc

[urban spire]

anyway @vagrant fox if you like stalker you should check out project silverfish

it's got fucking LORE too

it's set in WEST CARCOSA

[vagrant fox]

After jan 5th sometime yeah sure

[urban spire]

the NATO standard equivalent is 5.56 and 30-06 for bullets

[vagrant fox]

I love my yellow boy

[urban spire]

your what

[queen laurel]

SHIT

[vagrant fox]

My yellow buddy

[urban spire]

i need you to explain this to me

[wet sandal]

do you though

[near wasp]

It's not 30-06 it's .308

30-06 was what the m1 grand shoots

.308 is 7.62 x 51

[urban spire]

yeah man

[near wasp]

Immersion broken

[urban spire]

it's not earth

[near wasp]

Literally unplayable

And I was more meaning for nato standard stuff

Not for your game

[urban spire]

yeah i know nato uses 7.62

that's why i said equivalent

there's cool shit going on in this game

[hollow lantern]

What did they do to that poor FAL

[jade holly]

For Dark Heresy?

[urban spire]

yeah

[near wasp]

Right is .308 left is 30-06

[urban spire]

thirty aught six is very satisfying to say, tbf

[jade holly]

Forbidden pencils

[near wasp]

Yes it is

[near wasp]

Those don't look half bad

[urban spire]

currently using this

[near wasp]

That hurts my soul

That mag curve is way too pronounced for the bullets it uses.

[heady rivet]

The Alpha is two pre-made scenarios with set parties, set characters, and the intro to the game skipped to drop you in to a small segment of the early game

[vagrant fox]

My main man, king in yellow

[urban spire]

the wood furniture is so nice though

[arctic talon]

oh god lol

[urban spire]

OH, that yellow fellow

[near wasp]

Also that being a bullpub hurts me also

[urban spire]

bullpups are cool

sorry, it's the rules

[near wasp]

They really arnt

[urban spire]

they so are

they're slightly more finnicky to reload, so what

[vagrant fox]

Four kroots? This is getting out of hand

[queen laurel]

Oh man this is gonna obliterate my brain bro

[urban spire]

small price to pay for more barrel

[queen laurel]

I'm gonna have to go dogmatic and just burn the system

[near wasp]

I only hope it ejects brass straight down

Instead of into your face or arms

[urban spire]

let me check

[vagrant fox]

I'm not a bullpubber aficionado but I do like objectively superior wood furniture

[urban spire]

nah it bounces hot brass off your shiny lizard biceps lmao

[near wasp]

Rip

Also at least it looks it could really function in real life

Like it actually has space for the bolt to cycle

[urban spire]

silverfish has a lot of cool alt history guns

[near wasp]

Like it's not terrible but it's not great either

[urban spire]

pretty outstanding for a solo dev

[near wasp]

Then really good

I just nitpick because I know wayyy to much about fire arms

[urban spire]

i get you, i watch what's his name, the british royal armoury guy

[near wasp]

He's good

[urban spire]

i know how gun nerds get

and there's a LOT of guns in this game

if i had more on me i'd show them off

guess i have this

my only gripe so far is that the 30-06 machine gun is called an lmg

[near wasp]

Huh

Which one

[urban spire]

i'd have to hike pretty far to get an example for a screenshot

[near wasp]

Fair

If you happen across another one let me see it

[dapper gyro]

If it is magazine felt, then I can understand why it is LMG. Even some belt felt, if it is actually light enough for the role, it is a LMG.

[near wasp]

The bar was a lmg

[jade holly]

Trying to make a Necron name using Amun as the root but idk what to do with it smh

[dapper gyro]

FN Minimi 7.62 is a LMG.

Because it is fielded in section level.

gun

[jade holly]

Why is making a Necron name so hard

I don’t wanna keep using the damn -ekh suffix

[urban spire]

oh i had no idea

yeah i guess it's fine then, it's light enough

[near wasp]

Amunutekh

[urban spire]

5kg iirc

no definitely more

idk, i'll post a screenshot when i get back to my stash

[jade holly]

Yeah I’m trying to avoid using the Tekh ending too much

[near wasp]

Ah I missread

[jade holly]

Yeah

I got the Dynasty name though that I love

The Medjekh dynasty

The Silent King’s Black Hand

[storm jungle]

Already peak name bceause you didnt add "teph/tek" to the end of it

[jade holly]

I’m still trying to find a color scheme for them

Cause they’re meant to be the Silent King’s elite. Protectors from the shadows

[valid needle]

Black and red

[languid meadow]

Purple (that's what I use)

[jade holly]

I wanna have colors synonymous with mythological figures like Osiris and Sobek

So maybe a sickly blue-green?

Less sickly and more pale I guess

[valid needle]

My favourite colour so I agree

[dapper gyro]

In military terms straight from doctrinal books:
machinegun = sustain fire role
Light = 1 person serving
Medium = 2 people team
Heavy = mounting only
The cartrige has nothing to do with it.

[languid meadow]

Greener metal like oxidized copper and golden light

[jade holly]

I want the main color to be black for sure, just not sure what the accents, trim and glow will be

[daring creek]

I had a dream about skibidi toilet

[signal bramble]

How about this turquoise metallic I used for their armor? I can tell you the recipe.

[dapper gyro]

Is that your head that popping out of the toilet?

[near wasp]

Anumakyr

[jade holly]

I’ll keep thinking on it for now, I don’t even got a mini yet

[jade holly]

Oh I like that

[daring creek]

No its giant tv heads

[jade holly]

I might change around the n and m though

Cause Amun/Amun-Ra is also known as The Hidden One

I don't think the imperium is that bad. There's no homophobia or transphobia

Or racism

So it might be the ideal future

[wintry cloud]

Tell that to the mutants

[queen laurel]

racism is a thing

[celest dome]

Oh there is

In specific planets you will get skinned alive for even committing the sin of being with the same gender

Some planets are accepting of it they don't give a **** some planets will kill you

Is there transphobia

Eldar are more accepting

Does the epithet “Magistrae Universae” work for an Overlord?

Or is that too wordy

[near wasp]

For a necron nothing is too wordy

They have all the time in the word to have there titles spoken to the masses

[jade holly]

Cause I decided to lump that old Necron Overlord Idea I had into this dynasty

A Necron noble who woke hearing a maddeningly beautiful melody and sought a way to communicate with it

[remote widget]

New terminus decree idea: you know what would be a great resurrection snack for Big E?

1000 whiny librarians

turns out the melody is the literal melody of the universe and by performing with it she can do some low level reality manipulation

Scintillan Fusiliers (COGGs backstory already mentioned them but they're fully around and doing stuff)

[urban spire]

5.56 but still

[dapper gyro]

The Ultimax design is almost built from the group up, which makes it very memorable.

[ancient moth]

i read about them

they just nobles

who dont even wanna fight in proper battles

all they got is drip no propa fightin'

[urban spire]

pretty sure i've seen the ultimax on the royal armouries guy's show too

[ancient moth]

cogg got none of that scintillan drip

sadly

[urban spire]

was scintilla the reverse hive city?

[languid meadow]

if Ferguson is still doing the game reacts it makes sense

it's in BF6

[ancient moth]

its the capital of calixis

very important planet

scintillan fusiliers are basically their nobles

[urban spire]

right, i remember now

ambulon sounds sick

it better make an appearance in dark heresy

[dapper gyro]

I haven't watched the Royal Armoury channel for a while so I don't know. However, you can check on their website to see their available gallery. Searching using keywords.

[ancient moth]

it sure did in boltgun

[dapper gyro]

I know about the ultima because it was on TV back when I lived in Vietnam.

[urban spire]

oh cool

[urban spire]

they made a separate channel for the videogame stuff

https://www.youtube.com/@WatchEXP

[dapper gyro]

Oh

I saw that one recommended to me often. However, I have no interest, mostly because I work with firearms.

[urban spire]

they haven't done project silverfish, hope they do

that's fair

[dapper gyro]

I do like something more detailed in history like Forgotten Weapons.

[dapper gyro]

That's another thing, because there are a number of weapons that are widely used, so they are repeated again and again in the videos... I find that boring.

[urban spire]

yeah it's more interesting when they do weird things and try to figure out the inspirations

I'm not sober

[queen laurel]

Oh yeah you are on that dwarf level inebriation

[late verge]

Do you think the reason that the med servitor seems so relieved when you recharge his station is because the station has some kind of mind numbing or pain relieving qualities? Might explain why he only seems to go hysterical when his reserves are depleted

[signal bramble]

Sometimes I wonder if it’s not lobotomized enough compared to other servitors.

That is a thing. It pops up in one of the warhammer crime novels.

[outer wave]

Tis the season and all that, or at least its coming up much faster than I thought it would

[signal bramble]

Lobotomizing someone and turning them in to a servitor? Perfectly valid. Not lobotomized enough and they’re still somewhat conscious? Considered slavery of an imperium citizen and illegal.

[celest dome]

oh no

So teue

[late verge]

The imperium has no problems with regular slavery either, in fact iirc regular non servitorised slaves are considered even more disposable bc servitors have expensive augments

[signal bramble]

That’s what it said in the book.

Might have been that planet specifically.

[late verge]

Maybe they meant like, unsanctioned slavery

[signal bramble]

Not sure. They just said improperly lobotomized servitors are considered slaves and therefore illegal to produce and distribute.

[late verge]

Or maybe its just considered "inhumane" in the same way we consider botched executions inhumane, as if the entire thing isnt already barbaric

[surreal nest]

the space marine 2 community is taking the new cosmetic plans well

[storm jungle]

Slavery is legal in the Imperium, servitors are lobotimized because it makes them more subservient, theres no "humane" thought put into their creation

[storm jungle]

You are mixing it up with Flesh & Steel where its "technically" illegal for servitors to be sentient on Alecto.

[storm jungle]

idk why anyone would also argue servitors being lobotimized is humane to begin with

their entire creation process is fucking horrid

[storm jungle]

Did you have a stroke

🤨

[opaque coyote]

I forgot if you can create a servitor when they're already dead

[storm jungle]

no

[opaque coyote]

Or do they still have to be alive

[storm jungle]

servitors are alive

[opaque coyote]

Yeah makes sense

[storm jungle]

Their brainpower is needed to function

[rocky gale]

Can make a Servo skull though

[opaque coyote]

Thought you could make them via dying or dead people tbh for a sec

[storm jungle]

I mean servo-skulls arent servitors

[signal bramble]

I’m just recalling a passage from a book I read. Granted I finished flesh and steel a while ago.

[storm jungle]

[storm jungle]

Yeah that is just on Alecto, and even thats suppose to be hypocritical because slavery is very persistent on the planet

[opaque coyote]

I mean isn't being a servo skull an honor in-universe

[signal bramble]

So if I forgot something or misremembered it happens.

[storm jungle]

from brothels to excavation etc

[storm jungle]

Not really related to what im saying

so

[opaque coyote]

Servitors are fascinating in a weirdly social sense?

Like AI is hated so much that they go in the complete opposite direction and instead of using

Basic AI. They're so paranoid that they would rather lobotomize people

[late verge]

ATTENTION CITIZEN! MULTIPLE THIRD PARTY INDIVIDUALS HAVE REPORTED ONE OR MORE OF YOUR RECENT ACTIONS AS BEING INAPPROPRIATE-

[winged jacinth]

The alien movies inspired space hulk stuff i imagine not sure what the timeline is

[opaque coyote]

Not even a guardsman or a arbite btw

[late verge]

Analog horror where its like an outbreak of dark mechanicum with fully conscious servitors turning the inhabitants of the lower hive into battle servitors to overthrow the planet

[opaque coyote]

A squad of PDF infiltrating what they think is a cult.

And it is.

But instead of your average small heretical club

It's genestealers

[winged jacinth]

Roasting 3 chickens over vegetables i think its gonna be pretty good

[signal bramble]

You ever see the old necron progenitor? The chaos Android?

[near wasp]

An inquistor peiceing together a mystery from random pict feeds like xfiles

[daring creek]

Chat should I ask my psychiarist for anxiety medication

[winged jacinth]

No

[rocky gale]

I am providing a large gammon

[winged jacinth]

Do you suffer from anxiety symptoms

[opaque coyote]

Yeah that could be the big story and the excuse for watching the tapes

[daring creek]

Everyday.

[opaque coyote]

It's an Inquistor trying to piece together

Everything

[winged jacinth]

I would consider it

[celest dome]

Wha"t types of veg

[daring creek]

More or less, less or more.

[near wasp]

Id read/watch that

[late verge]

Ong yess

[opaque coyote]

Y'know the worst part is that a few tweaks could genuinely make the chaos androids intimidating

[winged jacinth]

Potatoes and carrots, probably onion and celery maybe some garlic cloves

[signal bramble]

The chaos androids are actually back in the lore recently.

[opaque coyote]

Oh sweet

[near wasp]

One got sacrificed in the arch magos book

[arctic talon]

I love chicken.

[winged jacinth]

All the models from that era looked kinda goofy imo they'd probably look a lot cooler now

[arctic talon]

Goddamit lol

Discord didn’t scroll

[arctic talon]

They look goofy now but looked very cool back then

[signal bramble]

In Genefather, Fabius gave one to the dark mech in exchange for their aid.

[winged jacinth]

I appreciate your chicken thoughts i think they're gonna be good

[arctic talon]

I think is something to keep in mind

Sculpting has come a long way

But back when GW started

[opaque coyote]

Also thought of the ending basically being the protagonist getting a glimpse into the hive mind.

And basically having his brains turned into sludge while the feed giltches out and shows some LSD type shit.

[arctic talon]

Their competitors looked awful lol

[near wasp]

It's the same one

[winged jacinth]

I imagine material constraints + evolution of the style

[late verge]

DUDE THATD BE SO COOL

[winged jacinth]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

Like

[late verge]

It only makes sense, admech hate ai, darkmech love it

[arctic talon]

GW’s sculpts were insanely good for the time

[winged jacinth]

The chaos android pose screams "our plastic is barely strong enough to support this gun" lol

[arctic talon]

Darkmech don’t though

They’re not even a unified body

[celest dome]

If it is oven baked beets can be quite good as they'll steam up and prevent the chicken drying out too kuc

[arctic talon]

They’re made of pewter funnily enough

[late verge]

Well itd be cool if they did

[celest dome]

Much

[arctic talon]

The white lead kind

Old warhammer minis are always dangerous

To strip paint off of

It’s like Russian roulette if it’s lead or not lol

[winged jacinth]

The pewter was even worse at bending apart lmao

I still remember getting a metal skink priest as a kid and the staff breaking while i unboxed the fucking thing

[near wasp]

I miss my tackle box of pewter DND models

[winged jacinth]

This was post lead metal but it still sucked

[arctic talon]

I have some pewter warp spiders

lol

[winged jacinth]

I wish i had the patience to acquire the skills to make sculpts of my tabletop characters lol

[arctic talon]

I could prolly kill someone with all 5 in a bag

[winged jacinth]

Warp spider sock

When you see a nazi at an event

[arctic talon]

Nah

Nazi gets the socknaught

One swing one kill

Nothing defeats it

[daring creek]

Socknaught?

[arctic talon]

Pewter dread, put it in a sock

[winged jacinth]

Old metal dreads are like solid metal ingots lol

[arctic talon]

Congrats

You have a bludgeoning tool now

[opaque coyote]

MY SOCK IS MY SHIELD.

[arctic talon]

Works with the pewter eldar dread as well

[opaque coyote]

[arctic talon]

That shit is heavier then the marine one

But it’s more distributed weight wise

[arctic talon]

Someone has broken a toe due to those things before

[opaque coyote]

Also for some reason I just realized that the Night Lords are basically the 1st edition SMs

[arctic talon]

💀

[near wasp]

You need a dense mf to swing at a bitch

[arctic talon]

They’re so fucking heavy

[winged jacinth]

The castellan has nice corners too

[opaque coyote]

Even down to most of them being ex-criminals

[arctic talon]

It’s insane

How heavy the old dreads are

[opaque coyote]

Lore accurate

[arctic talon]

You will dent shitty tables with it

lol

[winged jacinth]

Bjorn the fell handed is the last marine still entombed in a pewter dreadnought

[opaque coyote]

Dreadnought nunchucks

[arctic talon]

I wish

[winter pine]

right proppa minature model dat is

[arctic talon]

He never got a pewter mini

[winged jacinth]

(Im manifesting lore)

[arctic talon]

Lol

[opaque coyote]

Somebody should make one

[winged jacinth]

Hes only going insane because of the lead poisoning

[arctic talon]

Converting metal minis sucks

[opaque coyote]

To make it so that he's finally the oldest

[arctic talon]

lol

[opaque coyote]

True

That's why they switched from lead sniffing

To Plastic Crack

Cheaper brain damage

[near wasp]

And microplatics are taster

[wary fulcrum]

Makes a good dreadsock though

[winged jacinth]

boxes are 80 dollars now and they don't even increase my blood lead concentration what's the value proposition???

Gw bring back heavy metals!

[arctic talon]

Microplastics are tastier
